Cinnamon is good for insulin control but the fresher the better for the benefit. It is best to buy the sticks and grate your own.

When you make more insulin than you need, as when you eat high fructose corn syrup products, for example and your body responds to the high amount of glucose, the extra insulin tells the liver to make triglycerides, hence you end up with clogged arteries and weight gain even if you are not eating fats. Sugar Buster's books explain it very well.

So when cinnamon helps with insulin control, esp important for people with diabetes, it is also helping with triglyceride control...
